 * Prose
 * Lead
 * " The song was written and produced by Perry and by Canadian record producer Greg Wells, who were accompanied by American folk rock singer-songwriter Jonatha Brooke on the songwriting process." is a rather lengthy sentence. Try something like "Perry coproduced and cowrote the song with Greg Wells, with Jonatha Brooke also co-writing the song."


 * Background and recording
 * The first paragraph belongs in the Prism album page, not really in here.
 * The opening sentence to the second paragraph is rather lengthy. You don't need to link "written" to "songwriting" or mention people's nationalities. Try something like "The song was written by Perry, Greg Wells, and Jonatha Brooke.
 * The second sentence in the second paragraph is also rather lengthy. Try something like "Perry and Wells produced the song while Wells also programmed the song."
 * In the third sentence of the second paragraph, "drums and synthesizers were played by the former, while the latter played the thumb piano, also known as kalimba." would reads better as "Wells played the drums and synthesizers while Brooke played the kalimba."
 * The section is better off titled simply "Recording"


 * Composition
 * The first sentence is redundant as it has already been mentioned that Wells produced the song
 * The third sentence is also redundant as it has already been stated who wrote the song
 * In the fourth sentence, mentioning other Prism tracks is unneeded


 * Critical Response
 * The "In an article, where he listed all the lyrical clichés that were in the lyrics of the many songs of Prism" portion makes the first sentence overly lengthy.
 * In the fourth sentence, just keep the focus on the "Choose Your Battles" song itself
 * In the sixth sentence, keep the focus on Brooke's involvement with "Choose Your Battles" itself


 * Chart Positions
 * Per WP:OVERCITE, you don't need to use ref#14 twice


 * Sourcing
 * Background and recording
 * If the song taking five months to write is to br included (which seems trivial), try a better source than ref#4 (Idolator)


 * Neutrality
 * Lead
 * There should be quotation marks around "clichés" so it doesn't seem biased


 * Critical Response
 * Again, put quotation marks around "cliches"


 * Stability
 * No problems here


 * Coverage
 * Too limited. If including anything on background, try to find information on the song itself that isn't about the album as a whole. Also try to find reviews that aren't from album reviews. If this song gets significant attention from public performances and such (be it praise or controversy), go into that.


 * GAN result
 * In the end, I overall have to fail this due to the numerous problems listed above.
